Within minutes both our dogs showed remarkable changes to their behaviour. Very interesting not what I expected.
Trainer note from Todd
Geoff had Sibling Rivalry between Rocky, their 8-9 year old Beagle male, and Bullwinkle, their 6 month old English Staffy puppy (love their names Geoff!) This is a serious issue that if not addressed can lead to terrible fighting and awful injuries. In the end one of the dogs may need to be rehomed if nothing is done. After our first lesson we saw Bullwinkle listening much more and the family were able to stop him from approaching Rocky. With consistency and daily practice of the simple exercises I taught them the relationship between Rocky & Bullwinkle will settle down. I'll be back shortly to see how things are going!

We really enjoyed learning more about dog psychology and how to become a respected pack leader. We have already seen a big improvement in our young dog's behaviour around our home and are now able to stop his ankle nipping instantly. We have someway to go with improving his confidence with strangers but this is to be expected.
Trainer note from Todd
Rescue puppy Rufus is a 6 month old Great Dane and very cute! He does have some human fear aggression issues which will take a little time to overcome. The session on dog behaviour we went through helped you understand his behaviour better. He's not an aggressive dog, he is a dog with aggression issues that's all. We can work on those! Rufus' humans commented many times, as horse owners, how our methods are similar to how to train horses. Yes they are! They're both animals that need leadership. Knowing he has a consistent reliable leader will allow Rufus to relax and give away his protective aggression.

Phil was clear and consistent with approach in training myself. Dogs were more responsive by the end of session. Looking forward to next session.
Trainer note from Todd
Diesel is a Fox Terrier cross and Belle is a Chihuahua cross. They were both barking at every little noise! Disturbing neighbours! By lessons end they were silent! See my youtube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBg3a5me88c&t=21s for a before and after video of these two little darlings. Well done Martha and your lovely furkids!

Philip explained everything crystal clear and very easy to follow the instructions given. The training was a very different approach to what we could have imagined and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Trainer note from Todd
Josh's dog was called Franco, and he is a Pomeranian cross Maltese who barked and barked! He went off with every sound and was annoying the neighbours to the extent Josh had received a Council Letter of complaint. Something had to be done! Franco was also Dog Aggressive on walks and made that a most unenjoyable experience. When I arrived Franco barked and barked at me! He was really quite aggressive towards me and looked like he might bite! By the end of the lesson he was quiet, was listening to Josh and not barking at the usual things that set him off (like neighbours in their yards). A huge improvement immediately. Well done Franco! Well done Josh!

Todd dealt with Barking, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Molly WAS a dog who barked a lot - especially when there was someone at the door or someone near our property..
This problem escalated after our recent move to Shell Cove.
Our lesson with Philip from Barkbusters was a fantastic experience.
We learnt some key techniques, that changed Molly immediately. The barking has toned down a lot - in fact it toned down a lot at the lesson with Philip.
Philip has a warm dog friendly personality - he was really clear and concise with his teaching and he didn't mind us asking him to repeat some of the commands and training techniques.
I would thoroughly recommend Philip to my family and friends - in fact I already have :)
Trainer note from Todd
Hi Christine and Ray (and Molly!) Molly is a 3 year old Golden Retriever who has been lucky enough to live with you since about 8 weeks old. You actually said that she went "berserk" when people arrived at your home! She also followed you everywhere in the house and couldn't be left alone without fretting. She was just too full on! We did see amazing changes in the first lesson! She responded to our "speaking dog" right away! And of course you were great students as well (now you're great teachers for Molly as you've learned to be Dog Trainers yourselves now!) Well done and thank you for allowing me to help Molly and you both out. See you for our second lesson!

The training was well explained by Philip and easy to follow. Jessie seemed to respond well to the methods shown to us.
Trainer note from Todd
Thanks Jarrad for the positive comments about your very sweet Curly Coat Retriever Jessie. She's about 8 years old (who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks!) and your big issue was nuisance barking which disturbed your neighbours. She also jumped on guests, pulled on her lead and was anxious especially when out away from home. In fact, your vet had put her on anti anxiety drugs even. Jessie responded very well to her lessons and we saw the improvements immediately. Over time she'll improve more and more. Thank you for letting me help you and Jessie!

I saw instant results. I had a tradesman at the front door and usually he would normally bark. After one session he was like a different dog. I was pleased that there were no treats involved.
Trainer note from Todd
Frankie is a one year old Shar Pei and super wrinkly and cute! He was barking too much however and upsetting the next door neighbours. As you said he was like a different dog when the blinds men turned up near the end of our lesson! Hardly made a peep! Excellent work Christie!

Angus responded to the techniques really quickly. It was great!!
Trainer note from Todd
Angus is a 4 year old male Rhodesian Ridgeback who jumped on guests and raced noisily to greet visitors. He responded very well to our gentle and effective methods. Good boy!

We have used Bark Busters previously 20 years ago and found the techniques fantastic so we decided to use them again, with our new dogs.
